Special Moments

Hello! Not long to go now until we close for the Christmas holidays for some much needed rest and lovely family time!

We have some wonderfully magical inspiration here on the blog for you today from Jane Tyrrell…

Today is my last design team inspiration piece for the year for Visible Image. The next time I am back with some Visible Image inspiration will be in January when we will be starting to showcase their totally awesome new stamps!

For today I thought that I would weave a little Christmas magic and share a final post of our wonderful Disneyland Paris trip with Daisy. This is the second art journal “Moment” I made to remember this magical holiday.

For this art journal Moment I chose to capture the memories of the Princess lunch we enjoyed…

We were visited by the gorgeous Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White and Belle..

Daisy was totally entranced and honestly believed we were in the company of the real deal. The princesses were so professional and treated our darling sweetheart like a real princess. They really took the time to talk to her, sign her autograph book, pose for photos and admire the Princess Anna dress she was wearing.

I decided to use the photo of Daisy with Cinderella for my focal for my Moment as think it shows the the pure joy on our little sweetheart’s face. I fussy cut it out as I wanted it to become part of the background

I added some infusions and distress oxide ink to my mixed media card to start to create a magical background. Salty Ocean is a great Cinderella colour, perhaps I might rename mine Cinderella Blue!

I added some gold ink through the Strobes stencil

to create some star bursts

I stamped and gold embossed the clock swirl from the Ahead of our Time stamp set several times

as a reminder of that moment in time with the Princesses.

I also stamped stars from Universal

to add a little more magic

and also some celebratory bubbles using those from the Dare to Swim stamp set

The 2 quotes I used were

‘Make a Wish’ from Own it!

and

‘Memories’ from the Express yourself set

So here is my finished Moment..

I hope that when Daisy is older she can look back and remember the day she met her real Princesses and remember the Moments I have stored for her in Jane’s Journal. You can see just how versatile Visible Image stamps and stencils are for everything, including art journalling and mixed media work. We made a wish and made memories which really are,

“special moments that tell our story”

I have finished off the last of my last Christmas makes. My crackers for Christmas 2017 are ready for the table and I will be back to share them very soon over on my blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and taking the time to leave your kind comments, especially at this very busy time of the year. I hope that you have nearly finished all your Christmas preps too.

Bye for now,
